92 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2023 Timorasso is an attractive, expressive white from La Spinetta. Proprietor Giorgio Rivetti and his team crafted a Timorasso endowed with generous tropical fruit, spice and floral notes. Soft contours, unusual for Timorasso, add immediacy. This is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Drink 2024-2026 (Oct 2024)"
92 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "Here is a solid interpretation of the Timorasso grape from La Spinetta. The 2023 Colli Tortonesi Timorasso Derthona shows golden color saturation and opens to neutral stone fruit aromas of quince, pear and peach. This was a warm vintage, and the wine ultimately reveals a slightly waxy texture with canned peach that emerges in a second moment. In all, this is a very young expression, and as we know, Timorasso needs more bottle age before it shows its true complexity and depth. I recommend you give it a couple of years in the cellar. Fruit is organic, and 40,000 bottles were created. Drink 2026-2035 (Jan 2025)"
92 points Claire Nesbitt (JamesSuckling.com): "I like the notes of fresh papayas and pears on the nose, alongside crushed almonds and chamomile. It’s full-bodied but bright, with mineral undertones to the fresh fruit and a fleshy texture. From organically grown grapes. Drink now. (Nov 2024)"
91 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "The 2023 Derthona Timorasso is a pure expression without any oak aging and pours a medium golden yellow color. The nose is pretty and floral with aromas of honeycomb, melon, fresh pear, white flowers, and saline. The palate is savory, salty, and medium-bodied, although it has a good deal of dry extract and a glycerin-rich texture that will only be amplified as the wine ages. It is a gastronomic wine worth holding on to and checking in on over the next several years. Drink 2025-2032. (May 2025)"
90 points Wine Spectator: "A delicate white, this displays white flower, lemon, lanolin and mineral aromas and flavors. Not fragile, however, building in intensity to the long finish, with passion fruit and salty mineral notes. Drink now through 2030. (Apr 2025)"
90 points Wine Enthusiast: "Here's a wine that knows exactly who it is. The classic stone fruit and citrus peel notes stride confidently across the palate, building momentum as they go. A thread of minerality runs through it all, pulling everything together like a perfectly tailored suit. (Dec 2025)"
